protruding from the mapgled threat. In
the upper part of the throat under the
lower part OF the Jaw bone terrible gap
had been torn out from the inside. The
ball Of the thumb of his left hand, with
which he had touched off the explosive
in his mouth, Was torn open. When the
explosion occurred all the anarchist pris-
oners were on their feet In On instant and
every one Of them
LOOKED STUNNED AND FRIGHTENED.
J&iler FOlse at once gave orders to have
every one Of the other cells searched, and
Parsons was the first one e descent was
made upon. Three deputies entered his
cell, took him by the wrists and shoulders
aud led him TO J3iler FoIse's private Of
fee. There he WAS detained until his cell
vas searched and nothing found. The
ex-editor Of the Alarm shivered with
Mingled excitement, fear and curiosity.
His face was While snd his eyes looked
ready to start from their sockets. He
was in his shirt and trousers and 8 wide
hat shaded his face. He looked as if he
would have given the world to know
what had happened, but no information
Was VOuchsafed him. Il is believed by
some OF the reporters that something was
found On Parsons, although the jail off
Gals deny this. Parsons was given 3
new suit OF clothes to put On and taken
10 another cell where he now is

standing guard over him, one Of them
at his back and the other st the door. The
other men and their cells were also
searched, but nothing was found. When
Engel was being searched he completely
broke down and cried like child. He is
still so Frustrated that he has not
yet been put back in his cell,
but is in the jill library in
charge of deputies. Meanwhile turn
key O'Neil had discovered the little agent
which had served Lingg to accomplish
his terrible work. II was small fulmin-
ating esp a little over an inch long. It
had been filed with illuminate of mercury
and the small fuse which is usually at
tackled to these instruments Of death had
been touched eff by Lingg at the time the
watch thought he Was Lighting a cigar.
When Lingg committed the deed he IVES

on a cot. After the deed his cell was
searched aod another candle was found.
At the top Of it securely concealed by the
ends Of the wick q second Illuminating
cap was found, so it is supposed Lingg's
attempted suicide Wss committed with
one similarly hidden. TIE candles are
furnished by the j&il, SO t1at the caps
must have been put in by Lingg himself.
Lingg'5 act to-day was in keeping with
his past life. In 1883 he was forced to
leave his native town in Germany. After
q good deal Of wandering about Germany
he finally landed in Switzerland. There
he continued to fight the "Blues," as the
Social Democrats are called by the red
followers of Most. Il was then that the

German socisliats. published notice de-

the other remained outside. The latter
soon heard shout for help, and running
into Lingg's room, found that he had
thrown his partner On the floor, and was
only prevented from shooting him By the
policeman, who had q grip on the pistol
which Lingg WAS trying to use. The two
officers, after desperate struggle, sue

the policemen ordered him to come on,
but Lingg refused to move and said

this morning, as he stood looking at
Lingg. SIT might have saved all this
trouble" While it Is Generosity thought
AROUND the all now that LtDgg had all
along determined on ending his
own life in some tragic manner,
It is also believed that for some reason or
other he committed the act sooner than
be at first intended. Tuesday when Cap

called him TO the grating opposite his
cell and in broken English asked him to
see that he had some clean linen, aud he
